Just a beautiful location with beautiful grounds and lovely friendly staff. Garden room was great, nice to have a patio to enjoy. Lounge and restaurant her warm and cozy, great wine, and great breakfast the next day. Wish we had more time there. Took a beautiful stroll on nearby West Wittering beach, lovely people, gorgeous location.! Went to the pizza place for dinner and it was so much fun and the best food ever!

Pizzas at Cider House Kitchen. Loved the noisy busy vibe. Great atmosphere. Waiting staff were exceptional. They were well informed and able to answer all our questions regarding the menu, make recommendations etc. They were really busy but made time to make us all feel welcome. The pizzas themselves were also great. Fresh, tasty, good size and with such a variety to choose from. Loved the whole experience.

Very easy to book, most helpful receptionist. Warmly welcomed and shown to the table. Readily attended to and did not have to wait long. The barman was very polite and fulfilled our requests admirably. The food was nicely presented and sapid. Wine was a poor Chilean merlot, not cheap.

Absolute gem of a place. The people are fantastic, every member of staff made us feel extremely welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The receptionist set the bar extremely high, and the rest of the team followed her lead. Rooms are great. Food in the Potager Restaurant was exquisite, the chef is a superstar! You must try it, you'll love it.

We enjoyed a lovely 3 night stay at Crouchers Hotel, as we were in the area for a wedding. We were warmly greeted on arrival, and despite the kitchen being closed, we were able to enjoy a light meal in the bar, which was very welcome. The hotel is filled with very unique artwork and decor, the staff were all very friendly and engaging, the breakfasts were amazing, and the restaurant and bar were first class. We would thoroughly recommend staying here.

This hotel is a hidden gem in a lovely quiet location.Everything about my stay was superb.The staff are welcoming, friendly and provide amazing service, both Stephany (reception and guest services) and Ethan (who makes an excellent Tiramisu cocktail) deserve a mention and made a solo female guest feel very comfortable.I ate at the Potager restaurant (on site) and the food was truly sublime.Crouchers Hotel is also properly dog friendly, by that I mean not begrudgingly, as many are.The reason I gave the room 4* is because the pet friendly garden room I had was quite compact and I found the decor dated..... but that really pales in significance when you realise just how special this hotel and its people are.

Just returned home from a two night stay in order to attend a wedding. The hotel was spotless and well run. The staff were attentive and helpful. The room, we stayed in the Blenheim, was excellent. The location was very beautiful

Possibly the worst hotel experience ever. It was nothing like the pictures. Felt dirty. Was very 2/3 star and definitely not worth the price. …
